Metro Area Planning Commissions April 20, 2004 .. Page 6 of 7 '- OAR 660-011-0030 requires the plan to include rough cost estimates for projects listed in the plan. The Rule provides: "(1) The public facility plan shall include rough cost estimates for those sewer, water, and transportation public facility projects identified in the facility plan. The intent of these rough cost estimates is to: (a) Provide an estimate of the fiscal requirements to support the land use designations in the acknowledged comprehensive plan; and Co) For use by the facility provider in reviewing the provider's existing funding mechanisms (e.g.,-general funds, general obligation and revenue bonds, local improvement district, system development charges, etc.) and possible alternative funding mechanisms. In addition to including rough cost estimates for each project, the facility plan shall include a discussion of the provider's existing funding mechanisms and the ability of these and possible new mechanisms to fund the development of each public facility project or system. These funding mechanisms ,may also be described in terms of general guidelines or local policies. "(2) Anticipated financing provisions are not considered land use decisions as specified in ORS 197.712(2)(e) and, therefore, cannot be the basis of appeal under OR8 197.610(1) and (2) or 197.835(4)." Again, the failure of the proposed plan amendments to list individual projects in the plan precludes compliance with this role. The rUle only requires"~ough" cost estimates, but the estimates have to be by project, not large groups of projects. ' (e) Required elements of the comprehensive plan. - OAR 660-011-0045 requires that certain elements of the public facilities plan be made a part of the plan itself. The Rule requires: "(1) The governing body of the city or county responsible for development of the public facility plan shall adopt the plan as a supporting document to the jurisdiction's comprehensive plan and shall also adopt as part of the comprehensive plan: (a) The list of public facility project titles, excluding (if the jurisdiction so chooses) the descriptions or specifications of those projects; (b) A map or written description of the public facility projects' locations or service areas as. specified in sections (2) and (3) of this rUle; and (c) The policy(i, es) or urban growth management agreement designating the provider of each public facility system. If there is more than one provider with the authority to provide the system within the area covered by the · public facility plan, then the provider of each project shall be designated."
